About the author
Victoria Glad is an obscure mid-20th-century author about whom very little has been documented. The clearest source currently available identifies her as a writer of supernatural and horror stories in the 1950s, and lists her as active in 1951.
Her best-attested work is the short story Each Man Kills, which appeared in Weird Tales in March 1951. Bibliographic records also show that the story was translated into Spanish in 1952, suggesting that her work traveled beyond its original magazine publication.
Because so little verified biographical information survives, Glad is best approached through her fiction rather than through a detailed life story. For readers who enjoy forgotten pulp voices, she offers a glimpse of the strange, atmospheric storytelling that flourished in genre magazines of the early 1950s.
